Generating and Sending the EFD-Reinf

Note:

To access the Brazil Reports documentation in Brazilian Portuguese (Português do Brasil), see Brazil Reports.

You can generate the EFD-Reinf report for a subsidiary and send it to the tax authority through NetSuite. The system automatically finds eligible transactions and manages the communication with the SPED system's web services.

Tip:

You can use the Withheld Taxes on Services assessment to cross-check the transactions listed in the EFD-Reinf. For more information, see Generating Country Tax Reports for Brazil.

For more information about prerequisites for generating and sending the EFD-Reinf, see Prerequisites for EFD-Reinf.

To generate and send the EFD-Reinf:

  1. Go to Reports > Brazil Reports > EFD-Reinf > New.

  2. In the Subsidiary field, select the subsidiary for which you want to generate the EFD-Reinf.

    If the subsidiary has child subsidiaries, NetSuite searches the parent and child subsidiaries for information relevant to the EFD-Reinf.

  3. In the Start Date field, enter or select the first day of the month for which you want to generate the EFD-Reinf.

    NetSuite populates the last day of the month in the End Date field.

  4. If you want to include the R-1000 event in the EFD-Reinf, click the R-1000 subtab.

    If you previously sent an R-1000 event from the same subsidiary, NetSuite populates the fields with information from the last submission.

    1. Check the box that matches the purpose for this R-1000 event:

      • Opening Event

        Initiate a new EFD-Reinf submission.

      • Information Update

        • Update or rectify information sent on a previous R-1000 event.

        • Send the EFD-Reinf with NetSuite for the first time.

          Even if the company information remains the same, you should communicate to the tax authority that you switched to a new system for your EFD-Reinf submissions.

    2. (Optional) In the Expiration Date field, select the date when the R-1000 event expires.

    3. In the Tax Classification field, select the subsidiary's tax classification according with the Classificação Tributária table.

    4. In the Status as a Legal Entity field, select the option that indicates your company's situation as a legal entity.

    5. In the Contact field, select the contact whose information you want to include in the EFD-Reinf.

      In general, the contact is the employee responsible for generating and sending the EFD-Reinf. For more information about contacts, see Creating a Contact.

    6. If your company submits the Escrituração Contábil Digital (ECD) file to the Sistema Público de Escrituração Digital (SPED), check the Required to Submit the ECD file box.

  5. Click Save.

    The system searches for transactions from the selected subsidiary and period that are eligible for the EFD-Reinf.

  6. Refresh the page until the Status field says Available for Review.

  7. To review the transactions eligible for the EFD-Reinf, click these subtabs:

    • R-2010

    • R-2020

    • R-4020

    Note:

    If you notice any missing or incorrect information, you may need to edit one or more transactions, and refresh the event. For more information, see Refreshing Transactions in EFD-Reinf Events.

  8. (Optional) If you want to add or change the nature of the income for transactions in the R-4020 event, do the following:

    1. Click the R-4020 subtab.

    2. Next to the transaction you want to update, click Edit.

    3. In the Nature of the Income column, select the service's nature of the income.

      This field lists options from the EFD-Reinf's Natureza de rendimentos table.

    4. Click Save.

      Repeat these steps for any other transactions you want to update.

  9. When you're ready to submit the EFD-Reinf to the tax authority, click Send EFD-Reinf.

  10. Refresh the page until the Status field says Completed, Failed, or Failed Partially.

    The Completed status indicates that the tax authority received and processed the EFD-Reinf successfully.

  11. (Optional) If the status is Failed or Failed Partially, do the following:

    1. Click the subtab of each of the relevant EFD-Reinf events.

    2. In the Status of the Event field, verify if the event's sending status.

    3. If the sending failed, in the Return Message field, review the message from the tax authority.

      Note:

      Depending on the error, you may need to edit one or more transactions included in the event, and send the EFD-Reinf again. For more information, see Refreshing Transactions in EFD-Reinf Events.

    4. Repeat these steps for each event in the EFD-Reinf.
